I always find that I look more pink in the office washroom - we do have fluorescent lighting there though without going back there to check <G> I can't say more about it. I find that I actually look much better under natural light. You might be onto something that it has something to do with the pigment of one's skin - I am verrrrrrry fair skinned. Alena P.S. By the way, I was happy for you when I read how excited you were after your appointment with the new doc - please keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2002 Report Share Posted July 3, 2002 cent lighting (and other types of lighting) plays tricks with color. There is one type that gives the most natural light but other bulbs will really make anyone look terrible. I doubt most people know what to buy when replacing the bulbs. Regular light bulbs are supposed to give the best light for people's skin.
